You must remove the line cards and RP(s) from the line card and RP card cage,
then install them in the card cage in the replacement chassis. Card slot blanks
must be installed in slots without cards to maintain proper air flow and for EMI
performance. RP and line card captive screws must be tightened on the
replacement chassis to ensure electromagnetic compliance (EMC).
One edge of the card carrier faceplate is lined with an EMI-preventive gasket
consisting of many raised, conductive contacts. Be careful not to damage the
gasket contacts, because a damaged card carrier gasket can reduce EMI
performance.
Remove each line card in the card cage as instructed in the
Line Card" section on page
To match the router's existing software configuration, each card you remove from
the defective chassis must be installed in the same slot in the replacement chassis.
Install the line cards as instructed in the
on page
6-50.
After removing the RP, transfer it to the same card slot in the replacement chassis.
Reinstall the RP as instructed in the
page
6-50.
Remove the two CSCs, three SFCs, and two alarm cards from their slots one at a
time and install them in the same slots in the replacement chassis.
As you install a CSC, an SFC, or an alarm card in the replacement chassis, tighten
the captive screws on the card to ensure electromagnetic compliance (EMC).
